This back and forth has me a little confused. In a healthy relationship your spouse is your closest friend. They are the person most important to you. There are certainly times where you do things with your other friends apart from your spouse and those friends fill something in your life that your spouse doesn't. That's healthy. Ranking your friends and spouse isn't healthy. Competition between your friends and spouse isn't healthy. Friends and spouses that don't understand and respect your need for both aren't healthy.

My wife was my best friend. There is no distinction for me. I'd give up everything for any of my friends, her included. Love is not a hierarchy.

Possibly getting back to the strip... I was actually a bit disappointed that the armor wasn't more mecha-ish. But admittedly that's me.

--- Quote from: HeavyP on 04 May 2017, 17:31 ---Man, I love the comic, but the thought that keeps occupying my mind is that the last panel today *feels* like the first time I tried to take off a girl's bra. I was all "Do I need to go get my dad's cutting torch? Good lord!"
--- End quote ---
I hear/see that complaint a lot. Did I just luck out and happen to have girlfriends with less complicated bras? It was super easy.

--- Quote from: TinPenguin on 05 May 2017, 05:21 ---As someone currently going out with an asexual, one thing I've learned is that the common perceptions of 'friendships' and 'relationships' are not as fixed and immutable as we assume them to be. There is a lot of inbetween, and a lot of "I don't know what this is but it's good".
--- End quote ---
As a relationship anarchist, I don't feel the need to draw a distinction at all. I think hierarchies in general, be they inter-personal, political, whatever, are problematic and unhealthy. Which isn't to say I love everyone I know equally, but I don't rank types of relationships or even create arbitrary discreet categories for them at all.
